Updating Unit Roster
Any time after you have started you can update your “working copy” with any adult or youth who have been added by the registrar.
Updating Unit Roster
• Updating the roster will NOT change or reset any of the data you have already entered.
• It is highly recommended to update the roster every time you log into the system.
• If you have already entered someone it will show another listing. You must delete the listing that does NOT have a BSA ID#.
Multiple Membership• Do NOT remove anyone who pays their membership in
another unit or district or council level.
• Examples:– Someone registered as a Cubmaster in a Pack and also an

Cover page MUST be submitted with Recharter
• Log off Internet Rechartering
Now What?• Now you need to get signatures of the unit leader and
the Institutional Head of Chartered Organization (the person who signed the Charter Agreement with BSA, NOT the COR)
• Remember that the chartered organization must sign all adult applications and that the unit leader must sign all youth applications.
• Save yourself and them some time by checking all your new applications to be sure that they are properly signed and take along any that haven’t been signed.
And Then?• Ask your unit Treasurer for a check payable to
BSA for the total amount on the recharter roster PLUS THE AMOUNT ON THE ACCIDENT INSURANCE FORM. ($2 per paid member)
– To be on the safe side you can bring a signed check with amount left blank to avoid any problem or delay in submitting your charter.
• Paper clip it all forms together and turn in at your district’s turn-in event.

Be "On Time - Error Free“
Every hour spent by volunteers and Council staff chasing down late recharters and fixing errors can't be spent helping youth.
